Setup and Configuration
Overview
This chapter provides information on the EtherWORKS Switch 8T/TX system setup that
includes powerup diagnostics, and using the Configure button to perform diagnostic tests
and to set display modes.
Diagnostic Tests
Upon powerup, the DEL8X performs an internal self–diagnostic test of major switch
components. If any component fails during the test, the DEL8X will try to complete the
diagnostic procedure. Otherwise, the system will hang. For related information, refer to the
Diagnostics Display Mode section in Chapter 2.
The components to be tested include the following:
•
System ROM
•
System EEPROM
•
Ports
During normal operation, you can use the Configure button any time you want the system
to perform a diagnostic test. When testing begins, the system leaves normal operation. If no
problem is encountered by diagnostics, the system automatically returns to normal
operation.
